provaxx,
That is correct since he has committed to keep her as VP.
But does anybody vote for a president expecting him/her to die or be disabled in office?
What do you see as terrible if she becomes the president?

Cs,

Many jews do not need to learn new possibilities of the geulah to get excited and yearn for it.
We simply have kavanna while davening, benching and even counting sefiras haomer.
We also have kavanna during the 4 fast days and 3 weeks.
Learning Seder kodashim and all the parshiyos of vayikra can also increase the yearning.
Even pondering the daily chilul Hashem that exists due to no Geulah is a strong motivation.

Aaq,

I don’t care how she got these wacky opinions.

The posts are so wacky that there can’t even be a conversation about them.

It is like arguing with someone about whether the earth is flat.
Nothing will disprove them.
La terre est platte !

Nm,
He is running for president as his very first.
It is hilarious to think that he has a snowball chance in Gehenom.

Why would a political nobody run against an incumbent President? Just because of his last name?

This is the first count.

There are 34 of these.

THE GRAND JURY OF THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, by this indictment, accuses The defendant of the crime of FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IN THE FIRST DEGREE, in violation of Penal Law §175.10, committed as follows:
The defendant, in the County of New York and elsewhere, on or about February 14, 2017,with intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission
thereof, made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise, to wit, an invoice from Michael Cohen dated February 14, 2017, marked as a record of the Donald J. Trump
Revocable Trust, and kept and maintained by the Trump Organization.

Dbrim,

Influence peddling is not a crime. If it was, Ivanka, Jared, Jr and Eric would have been indicted a long time ago.

Trump will be indicted for what many other people were convicted of and are currently sitting in jail for. It’s not a novel crime, nor a novel indictment.

CA,

Then we agree.
Have a Chag Kosher V’sameach.

CA and Besalel,

Anonymous posters who don’t live in Israel and don’t have to deal with the current situation, need to realize that their vote on this matter is not on the same level as Israelis. The poll results are thus inconsequential until you divide the Israeli’s and non-Israeli’s.

The opinions of anonymous non-Israeli’s are nowhere near the level of actual decisions that Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir, who are responsible for what goes on in Israel, had to make.
I am sure Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir are laughing at the poll.

It is better to ask Rav Brog what he meant. I am sure he will have a great answer for you.
I have heard many of his shiurim. Always filled with Taam Vdaas.

There is a famous story of the Brisker Rav’s minyan, when he lived in Jerusalem, waiting during Chazaras Hashatz for a Kohen to come and bentch Birkas Kohanim . Asked why he is makpid and will wait so long until they find a Kohen ,he said that people wait on line a long time for brachos from Tzadikkim, so Kal V’chomer for a Birkas Kohanim.

After it having been proven that there is one murderer in the Murdaugh family, the Smith family is going to dig up Stephen Smith who died under very suspicious circumstances .
It was a “hit and run” with zero signs of a hit and run.
This time it is connected to Buster Murdaugh.

Milhouse,

I am not trying to argue with your reality, I am trying to understand your scenario.
Please lead me through what happened according to you.

It sounds like Arabs planned a pogrom and Israel was doing nothing to prevent it . Why?

NEWS: Sanders Statement on Silicon Valley Bank
March 12, 2023
BURLINGTON, Vt., March 12 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday issued the following statement on Silicon Valley Bank:

“Let’s be clear. The failure of Silicon Valley Bank is a direct result of an absurd 2018 bank deregulation bill signed by Donald Trump that I strongly opposed. Five years ago, the Republican Director of the Congressional Budget Office released a report finding that this legislation would ‘increase the likelihood that a large financial firm with assets of between $100 billion and $250 billion would fail.’

“Unfortunately, that is precisely what happened. During the debate over the legislation I said: ‘Are our memories so short that we learned nothing from the 2008 Wall Street crash? Have we learned nothing from the Savings and Loan disaster of the early 1990s or the thievery of Wells Fargo over the last couple of years or the dishonesty of Equifax or the accounting fraud at Enron and Arthur Anderson or the failure of Long-Term Capital Management or the billions of dollars in fines that financial institution after financial institution has paid out for illegal or deceptive activities?’ Sadly, the Republican Congress and the Trump Administration answered all of these questions with a resounding NO.

“Now is not the time for U.S. taxpayers to bail out Silicon Valley Bank. If there is a bailout of Silicon Valley Bank, it must be 100 percent financed by Wall Street and large financial institutions. We cannot continue down the road of more socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for everyone else. Let us have the courage to stand up to Wall Street, repeal the disastrous 2018 bank deregulation law, break up too big to fail banks and address the needs of working families, not the risky bets of vulture capitalists.”

The bank tanked because after being flush with billions extra in cash, it made a terrible decision to buy securities and bonds that lose value when interest rates go up.
They lost that bet because the economy needed to raise interest rates due to inflation. They rolled the dice with investors money and lost it all.

Besalel,
Rmo are from live castrated bulls.

Everyone has to use their own Da’as to use the obligation of “l’bsumey ad d’lo yada” to bring them closer to Hashem and not as an excuse to get drunk and act in a way which is the complete and total opposite of Purim and Kol Hatorah Kulah.

Q:
In Slabodka I had two rebbes, zichronom livrocha, and boruch Hashem they were both inspirations to me. I will describe to you how different their behavior was on Purim.

A:
On Purim it was a minhag of the bnei hayeshiva to go to all the roshei yeshiva and menahalim of the yeshiva. We went to the homes of the roshei yeshiva and to the mashgiach and we went to all the important people of the yeshiva. And these two rebbes of mine were different in the way they behaved on Purim. Pay attention, because the ways of tzaddikim we have to learn; both of them are ways in avodas Hashem.

One rebbe—I won’t tell names—when he sat at the head of the table and the yeshiva people were dancing around the table, he was watching to see who was a little wild, and those were the ones he gave wine or a glass of schnapps to. He poured fuel on the fire in order it should burn more brightly!

The other rebbe was an old misnaged type; a cold misnaged. When we were dancing around his table, he looked at the boys suspiciously to see if somebody was ungeshikert, intoxicated, and anyone who was drunk and a little wild, his face turned unhappy and sour. That was the other rebbe.

Now, which rebbe I followed you can understand yourself! The rebbe’s face that was sour, that’s the one I followed. And this rebbe said two separate schmoozen. One schmooze was that you shouldn’t get drunk on Purim; you should drink but don’t get drunk. Because gedolah deiah – how great it is to have daas! It means Awareness of Hashem. It’s always good to have daas. You drink עד דלא ידע – until you don’t know. עד means עד ולא עד בכלל; it means just before you lose your deiah, that’s when you stop. You should drink עד דלא ידע – until you don’t know. When you reach that stage, you’re yotzei already the mitzvah, more than that – stop. That was one schmooze; that whatever you do, you shouldn’t lose your deiah on Purim.

Because Purim is a time of deiah; Purim is time to gain Daas Hashem, Awareness of Hashem. נודע השם משפט עשה בפעל כפיו נוקש רשע – Hashem becomes known when He does justice; when the wicked is ensnared in the work of his hands. So when Haman was hung on the same eitz that he made for Mordechai, it was בפועל כפיו, it was the work of his own hands, נוקש רשע, that ensnared the rasha, and that’s when נודע השם – that’s when you get daas Hashem awareness of Hashem. That’s when you get real emunah. When you see בור כרה ויחפרהו ויפול בשחת יפעל, that the wicked falls into the same pit that he himself made for somebody else, that’s when people get daas of Hashem.

So Purim is a time to recognize Hakodosh Boruch Hu from what happened on Purim and to be mifarseim the nes, to publicize what Hashem did for us. And therefore Purim is not a time to lose your deiah, no. On Purim you have to have deiah, you have to acquire deiah. Only you drink up till then, as we said before, in order to get more hislahavus in deiah; more enthusiasm in this knowledge of Hashem.

However, the other time we went to him he said as follows: Since Purim is a time for deiah, therefore we have to know that there’s a rule that the Mesillas Yesharim teaches us: החיצוניות מעוררת את הפנימיות – The outward acts of a person awaken up the inner thoughts. By doing certain outward actions, you stimulate your inner machshovos, your emotions.

“Therefore,” he said, “on Purim when we dance—we were dancing around his table—every stamp you make on the floor—the floor was shaking from that—every stamp you make, you have to know that you’re stamping emunah into your neshama.”

Don’t think it’s not so! You may be thinking also of a good time; why not? You like the exhilaration of dancing; you can let go on Purim. But if you’re doing it with a little bit of lisheim shomayim, you have to know that you’re imprinting emunah onto your neshama. That’s what you’re doing. “Every klop that you knock with your foot,” he told us, “you’re knocking the emunah into your neshama more clearly.”
